Omri Ben-Dov
PhD student in ML
I am a PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, focusing on collective action in ML and novel generative modeling frameworks. My research explores how individuals can coordinate data modifications to influence machine learning outcomes, alongside the creation of new generative modeling frameworks. I am passionate about the interaction of machine learning with the real world, from what we can learn about the world using ML, to how society and ML can influence each other.
